,EDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO. TUESDAY MARCH 20, 1887.

The age of the dancers varied from
thirteen years to seventeen.
The dance had no variety. The foul
young ladies spun round in a row, the
hands high in the air, while the fingers
were snapped with a sound like the
playing of castinets. Now and then
the dancers would make what children
call ga cheese" Then. while their
feet remain motionless, their bodies
would be swayed and contorted more
and more rapidly as the music quick
ened. Then the head was bent back
until it almost touched the ground. the
fingers being snapped in time to the
music, while one girl clasped pair OF
cymbals IAN inch in diameter) between
the thumb and foreinger of each hand.
Meanwhile the musicians were singing
Persian love song with wild refrain,
in which all joined. The scene was
a sufficiently gay one, all taking place
under blaze of light from the chande-
Gers and carriage lamps.
The girls now danced singly, and a
variety of posturing was gone throuSS
Then they danced a rather graceful
scarf dance. Then their attentions be-
came personal. They would be well
rewarded by our hosts, but We gave
them a few coins, and they retired,
smiling and kissing their hands.
After a few minutes rest the mu-
sicians suddenly recommended their
performance with fresh vigor. The
tune-for it was something distinctly
resembling an air-grew faster and
more furious And now entered a
strange parsonage. He was about four
feet high with huge, fair face like a
full moon, a small body, short legs,
huge bare feet, and an enormous white
turban. The face was one of intense
and dismal stupidity. The mannikin
danced in a grotesque manner, his arms
extended at right angle to his body.
The stupid. round face, eighteen inches
across, never for moment lost its dis
NAL expression. We laughed till we
cried. Suddenly the dismal, stupid
face expands into grin; it becomes a
laughing mask; it resumes its air of
melancholy and idiotic stupidity; it
grins, it laughs, it assumes the most
ludicrous contortions. How was it
done? One of the buffoons had care
fully painted the face on bare space
Immediately below his waist. The
gigantic turban concealed his chest,
arms and head. A boys coat and
trousers and false arms completed his
makeup.
Dinner was served-the usual Per-
sian banquet of a hundred dishes.
Dinner for four. food for fifty. At
eleven o'clock we were allowed to de-
part, leaving our host in the humor to
make night of it. The fountain was
still playing; so was the band. The
girls were still dancing, the lights
blazing, the bulbuls still singing
